Marti Pellow - Close To You

 

Peak: 09

Chart Run: 9-18-21-37-51-60-(x)-88-94-95 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: I've Been Around The World (#28)

 

 

Commentary: As the lead singer of Wet Wet Wet he's obviously had loads of other hits, but only one top 20 by himself. The song is actually very nice although not the type of music I listen to.

Rating: 6.5/10

Boris Dlugosch ft Roisin Murphy - Never Enough

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 16-30-40-48-(x)-100-95 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Hold Your Head Up High (#23)

 

 

Commentary: This is a great dance track, it sounds a lot more modern than most from 2001. The video's a bit crap though.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

I Monster - Daydream In Blue

 

Peak: 20

Chart Run: 20-26-29-40-46-65 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Hey Mrs (#85)

 

 

Commentary: I've heard two versions of this song now. One with a woman's vocals and this one with electronic vocals. The video is a bit weird but I guess the song is too.

Rating: 10/10

Sticky ft Ms Dynamite - Booo

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-16-27-37-47-69 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Ms Dyanmite has been on a few tunes in the past and this is no exception. Can't find anything about Sticky anywhere.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

 

Backyard Dog - Baddest Ruffest

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 15-22-33-49-68-(x)-69 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: It's certainly an interesting song. It stands out but not necessary for the right reasons.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Roger Sanchez - Another Chance

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-3-8-11-13-20-29-32-42-62-70-73-85-(x)-100-91 (15 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: I Never Knew (#24)

 

 

Commentary: I used to really dislike this song. My Dad is a big dance music fan and I remember him listening to this and the video annoying me. Listening to it again now it's a really good song. The dialogue in the video is still awkward.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Cosmic Gate - Fire Wire

 

Peak: 09

Chart Run: 9-15-24-34-39-55-73-(x)-90-94 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Exploration Of Space (#29)

 

 

Commentary: I don't know how we can go from a song that holds up as well as Another Chance to something that sounds this dated. Maybe I'm being harsh on this one, I'm not sure.

Rating: 5.5/10

Chart Run: 14-19-30-42-62-69-76-58-90 (9 weeks)

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

De Nada - Love You Anyway

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 15-23-34-50 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Bring It On To My Love (#24)

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Little Trees - Help I'm A Fish (Little Yellow Fish)

 

Peak: 11

Chart Run: 11-14-20-27-37-51-66-(x)-88-90 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I remember the film but I'm not sure how this became a hit. I didn't think the film was very popular. The song is extremely novelty but not as bad as I remembered.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Uncle Kracker - Follow Me

 

Peak: 03

Chart Run: 3-4-6-8-11-11-12-14-16-22-23-25-37-48-60-75-68-67-(x)-88-94-99-89-(x)-64-46-78 (25 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: By some distance the most weeks in the chart for a song so far. I've actually never heard this before but it's shockingly decent.

Rating: 7/10

loving 'Another Chance' a lot right now :heart: such a good song and one I would have loved to have seen go to #1 but I didn't follow the chart back then.

 

The Cosmic Gate song is quite good but below average for a trance hit of this time, their follow-up flop 'Exploration Of Space' should have swapped chart runs with it to be honest, it's a lot better

Another Chance is great :dance:

Exploration Of Soace reminded me of Sandstorm. :lol:

Staind - It's Been Awhile

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 15-20-26-35-46-65 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Outside (#33)

 

 

Commentary: This isn't too bad. I don't usually listen to this type of music and this doesn't nothing to change that. It seemed to end quite abruptly.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Spiritualized - Stop Your Crying

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-38-56-(x)-98 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: I Think I'm In Love (#27)

 

 

Commentary: This is so boring. I understand it's supposed to be emotional but for me it's just dull.

Barthezz - On The Move

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-32-41-61-(x)-97-94-(x)-81-91 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Infected (#25)

 

 

Commentary: Haven't heard any trance for a while. I'm finding it decent, but I think trance isn't at its best when listened to alone in your bedroom so I might be missing out on listening to it in its optimal context.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Silicone Soul - Right On

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 15-22-27-46-(x)-68-91-98-(x)-96-90-90 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Feeling Blue (#85)

 

 

Commentary: Sounds quite Bongo Song-esque. Feels like it's missing something that would make it a good track.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Bell & Spurling - Sven Sven Sven

 

Peak: 07

Chart Run: 7-13-17-26-49-70-(x)-99 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Goldenballs (Mr Beckham To You) (#25)

 

 

Commentary: There are some classic amazing England football songs. Vindaloo, 3 Lions & World In Motion are all brilliant examples. However this is just bad. Includes a reference to Jimmy Saville which makes it worse.

Rating: 3/10
